  • The quarterback depth chart features Jordan Love as starter with Desmond Ridder likely the primary backup, while Kyle McCord and mobile QB Kyron Drones serve developmental and practice roles.
  • Key offensive skill positions include running backs Josh Jacobs and Chris Brooks, with MarShawn Lloyd expected to compete for a spot; wide receivers Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Jayden Reed, and Skyy Moore are projected starters following trades and free agency moves.
  • The defensive front features a 3-4 scheme with six defensive linemen including Devonte Wyatt and Javon Hargrave, and five edge defenders led by Lukas Van Ness, with Micah Parsons expected to return mid-season.
  • Special teams and specialist roles see Trey Smack competing with veteran Brandon McManus for kicker duties, Daniel Whelan as punter, and Matt Orzech likely retaining the long snapper position amid rookie minicamp competition.
